Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues across 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment is dedicated to creating joyful, lasting memories for families through a unique combination of fun, food, and play. The brand celebrates over half a million birthdays annually and is committed to providing safe, engaging, and inclusive environments for kids and families, supported by industry-leading safety programs like Kid Check®. Beyond entertainment, CEC Entertainment actively supports local communities, having donated more than $24 million to schools and nonprofit organizations, strengthening its role as a trusted community partner.

CEC Entertainment emphasizes a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and employee well-being, earning accolades such as the "Best in STEM" award in 2025 and being named one of America's Greatest Workplaces. The company fosters career growth opportunities, with over 60% of its managers promoted from within, making it an excellent place for both first-time job seekers and experienced professionals looking to build a rewarding career. The Chuck E. Cheese brand, known as "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®," is passionate about creating positive experiences that promote physical wellness and motor skills development in children through play and interactive attractions.

Currently, CEC Entertainment is hiring for positions such as Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers. These roles are vital in delivering the great food that complements the fun atmosphere at Chuck E. Cheese locations. Kitchen staff help prepare orders and maintain the quality and safety standards expected at these venues. The kitchen operates without fried foods, focusing on pizza, salads, and wings. Employees benefit from a supportive work environment with flexible schedules and competitive pay. Employees can participate in the innovative "Work Today, Get Paid Tomorrow" program, allowing them to access earned wages quickly. Additional benefits include a 50% meal discount during shifts, scholarships, employee referral programs, perks and discounts, and a special assistance fund called CEC Cares. The work environment requires physical activity such as lifting up to 50 pounds and involves exposure to flashing lights, mechanical parts, and loud noises, all managed with rigorous health and sanitation protocols.

This opportunity provides a dynamic work setting where employees engage in varied roles through cross-training, enhancing their skills and service capabilities. The company’s commitment to safety, innovation, and community well-being makes it a standout employer in the entertainment dining industry.
